The Voices in My Head
Sean Bowers is haunted by the voices in his head. He struggles to keep a grip on reality, but the voices threaten his sanity. They also challenge the law, pressuring Sean to do terrible, evil things he can’t even consider. The voices continue, and he eventually loses the fight against them, giving in to their demands.
As he is propelled into a world of murder and crime, his actions feel beyond his control—and yet, at the same time, he feels justified. The horrible occurrences that surround Sean soon cast a shadow on his small neighborhood. The townspeople want justice. Even his family finds it impossible to be on his side, turning against Sean with disastrous consequences.
As the voices continue, secrets come to light that make it clear Sean’s troubles are not merely madness, but something much darker. With this new knowledge and the help of his remaining loved ones, will Sean return to a semblance of sanity—or will he allow the voices inside to permanently alter his fate?
Excerpt
Today, like any other day, is full of bad news and disappointments. Sometimes I feel trapped with a ton of weight bearing down on my chest, making it impossible to breathe. And then just when I think it can’t get any worse, the voices chime in and have me believing that at the moment everything is starting to fall apart once again. So what now? Do I listen to them and believe that they know what’s best for me? After all, I’ve created them in my own mind. I’m the one who woke them up, disturbing the little sanity I had left. Or perhaps I’m reading too much into what is being said in my congested head. Okay, this is the story of a mind running rampant, losing touch with reality, in the hope of discovering the truth behind the voices and what they represent.
So let’s take a trip down memory lane. I think the best place to start is at the beginning. So let’s start with “Once upon a time.” No, that sounds too much like a fairy tale. Let’s just start it this way: My childhood was not the best, and oftentimes I spent a lot of it alone with only my thoughts. Now, some may say that’s a recipe for disaster; others don’t care either way. For me, I had no choice in the matter. I was a loner. My purpose in life had yet to be determined. Let’s just say it was forever changed by a line of events leading up to becoming a man.
My mother—bless her soul—was not exactly the soft, affectionate woman you hear about in most stories of family life. Instead she was thick-skinned, not because she wanted to be but because she had to be. Her name was Eleanor, and, yes, whenever she spoke we

Voices in my head was a awesome read. Once I got about 15 pages in, the visuals being painted seem to jump off the pages. By the time I got to the end (I read it in one day) I couldn't wait to see how it was going to wrap up. And believe me, you would have never expected that ending!! Great read from a man who is gonna be a great suspense author
